A lesbian teen has shared a shocking video of her allegedly anti-gay Christian grandmother performing what appears to be an exorcism outside of her bedroom, calling it ‘religious abuse.’
Selia Brookes, who says she is ‘gay, gay, gay’ in her TikTok profile, shared a video of her relative denouncing ‘foul spirits’ and ‘lying spirits’ while touching the door with her finger.
‘Satan, I rebuke you, in the name of Jesus, in the name above all names! Praise you, Jesus!’ the woman shouts before turning and walking down the hallway.

Hard to handle: Gay teen Selia Brookes shared a video of her allegedly anti-gay Christian grandmother performing what appears to be an exorcism outside of her bedroom
Awful: The grandmother touched the bedroom door with her finger as she rebuked Satan and praised Jesus before turning and walking away
Brookes closes the door and starts to cry, prompting the person who is filming to turn off the camera.
‘If you’re wondering what religious abuse is, here,’ she captioned the clip.
The teen, who is believed to be American, used the hashtag #emancipation, suggesting that she is considering legally separating from her parents before she turns 18.
The video, which has been viewed more than 250,000 times, has received an outpouring of support from other TikTok users, including other Christians.
‘There’s no hate like Christian love,’ one person wrote, while another added: ‘As a Christian I’ll never understand how they think this is okay. This is the complete opposite of what God stands for.

‘That poor child — Jesus was about love, not hate,’ someone else commented, while someone else called it ‘child abuse.’
